States that though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him, and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Q & A:
- Have you discussed your views on sexual morality with your spouse or partner before getting married? Compare the secular view on sex nowadays to the Christian view on sex within marriage. (Heb 13:4; 1 Cor 6:18-20; 1 Cor 7:4-5)
- Out of the three reasons for sex within marriage (procreation, communication, pleasure/recreation/release), which is most applicable for you and your spouse? Sex provides a means of communication, pouring out one’s deepest affection, hopes, and dreams into the loved one, what are the challenges that you face in expressing love or developing intimacy between you and your spouse? (Gen 1:28a; Deut 7:13-14; Song 4:10-12; Prov 5:18-19)
- Discuss how you and your spouse/partner explore and develop spiritual intimacy through the three-stand chord in your walk with God. What difference will being Christians make in a couple’s sexual relationship in a marriage? (Ps 139:13-15)
